The Pinata!!

Grabbing the good stuff!

Olivia's 1st birthday!

Olivia turned 1 on May 21! Megan had a ladybug party for her, and since my birthday is the 22nd, we celebrated mine too. But instead of me being a lady bug, I was the old bat!! hehe

We had lots of fun, good food, a pinata for the kids, and Aunt Emily did a fantastic job on the cakes! I really thing she should go into business!!! Livvy loved the cake, and Carson was so eagar to show her how to really 'dig' in!

Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was great! The boys made me a birdhouse out of an old table that came from my Mama Abe. The girls completely took care of dinner! Brit brought a fun game for us to play where we had to do silly things...things got a little out of control, as usual!!

FFA Banquet

Tate had his FFA banquet where he gave his retiring speech as the 2009-10 vice-president. The song he had pictures go with was called "World Wide Open" by Love and Theft. He did an amazing job, and it was so fun to see the pictures of him growing up, and his FFA activities. His 2 teachers are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Clegg. They have taught him so much and been a real support to him.

EASTER 2010

Merry Christmas...I mean Happy Easter! We woke up to several inches of snow! This year was conference week-end, so it was so nice to stay home, watch conference, and have Easter dinner. Brit and her kids were here this year, Emily and Meg and their families were in Hawaii.

Tate and his stuff...thanks, Easter Bunny!

Abush and his "basket"

Diamond Fork Rodeo Champion

Tate won the series this year. It is the last year he can compete in this series!

GOOD JOB BUDDY!

Outstanding Seniors

Tate was awarded an award for Outstanding Senior at his school. There were 10 kids from Spanish Fork High School who were awarded it, by the Kiwanis Club. They had a nice dinner for them at the Primrose Retreat, and then a speaker, and awards. What a proud mom I am!! Todd's pretty proud too! He is just an all around good kid!

Todd's 48th birthday gift

Emily, Preslee and Cash gave Todd a ride on the skeleton up at Park City Olympic Park. He was so stoked, and loved every minute of it! He is already planning another ride~and I tease him that he is probably too old to train for the olympics....It was really an interesting place, with a museum and fun things to try.

FFA State Degree

Tate went to Cedar City for State Convention. They stay for 3 days, and have lots of fun with FFA members from all over. He received his State Degree, which is the highest degree he can earn! They had a luncheon for the parents which was so good. Chicken Cordon Blue. WAY TO GO TATE!!!

Abush in Shakespeare

Abush was in the school play "The taming of the shrew" The kids did such a GREAT job. Abush performed as 2 statues...One lion and the other a soldier. We were all so amazed that he could actually stand still for that long...AND be quiet! hahaha He did a fantastic job, and really enjoyed the drama experience!
